Phoebe Gates is shutting down racist comments about her relationship. The daughter of billionaire tech giant Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda Gates is experiencing backlash on social media. The 20-year-old went public with her boyfriend, Robert Ross, in May 2022. The two Stanford students appear throughout each other’s social media, and the comments get ugly. Most of the online trolls fixate on the fact that Ross is Black. They even allude to the fact that he is dating Gates for her money and status. www.yahoo.com/news/bill-gates-daughter-phoebe-says-221940281.html |

Had a lady from the midwest once who was a closet racist and told me I love black women. She was right  |

I dated a guy from China years ago. One day, while we were waiting for the valet to bring his car after spending a nice day at the Meadowlands Racetrack, I overheard an old lady telling her husband it was a disgrace that that white girl (me) was with a "chink." A moment later the valet pulled up with his Merecedes and she said oh now I get it, their eyes straighten out when they have money. I felt sick to my stomach but was glad he didn't hear her ignorant hurtful comments. When I agreed to go out with him I thought he was a waiter, I was shocked when he showed up at my house in a Benz, wearing an Armani suit. Turns out he was just helping the owner of the restaurant who was seriously short staffed that day. He owned his own restaurant and a Kung Fu school in Chinatown. Money was not a factor to me. I liked him when I thought he was a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.
I also was engaged to a man from Trinidad. My family treated him as one of the family just like my Chinese boyfriend. I never heard a racist word growing up. My church family looks like Heaven, no one predominant race, just one big family. My black friends were always welcome at my family dinner table. I have worshipped many times in my bestie's Allen AME church, been the only white person in other friend's churches, taught Sunday School for majority black children, vacationed with my black friends and their families and ran a Bible College to help our international students get their ministerial credentials, the majority being African & Indian students who I loved. I said all that to say this,"woke" people who embrace the Democrat/Socialist ideology haven't cornered the market on being color blind. It is a fabricated lie that if you're white you're automatically a racist if you don't march in lock step with the Dem party any more than the Republican party is the party of God. Only ignorant people judge people by their race.

My Rep is my friend and former boss (one of four of my wealthy & powerful former black bosses.) He's a Senator. If he can make it in this evil nation that practices systematic racism, what's holding back the able bodied black people depending solely on government handouts in ghettos in historically Dem run cities? Poor people need a hand up not handouts, that should only be a temporary measure to get people back on their feet regardless of their race. Government run ghettos keep people trapped for generations in poverty and despair and we've seen how well that's worked.
Why is it that successful black people who started life in poverty don't choose to stay in their old neighborhoods? I know why all the middleclass and upperclass black people I know moved away, they don't want the things they worked hard for to get robbed. They don't want thugs shooting into their homes or robbing senior citizens on their way home from the bank. They don't want gang members getting hold of their children and selling drugs to them and introducing them to a life of crime. They choose family life, two parent homes where Dad's lead by example and teach their boys to be successful men and their daughters that they are worthy to be loved and not be treated like cheap "hoes."
Lifestyle choices and who you vote for to represent you makes all the difference in the world. Voting for sellouts who promise to help the community but do nothing for their constituents other than enrich themselves and powertrip should never be re-elected. And yet many make a lifetime career while their districts burn and their youth are murdered in numbers higher than some of the wars our soldiers have fought in. As evil as the KKK and Skinheads are, it's not those hate groups that are killing people in the ghettos, it's black on black crime.
Stop the madness. The Dems want to be in charge, OK fine, do your duty. You've had decades since Jim Crow - what have you done to clean up your districts that are getting more "progressive" yet worse year by year. When called out for their failures, they point to the party that hasn't been in charge of their districts and cried you suffer because they're racist, blame them! What a steaming pile of garbage. The Dems know black people are waking up and as more and more black families leave the Dem ghettos and achieve their American dream they are speaking out and getting the message out. Their message horrifies Dems and they do their best to paint them as bootlicking sellouts and Uncle Toms. Now who is trying to hold back black people! They don't want them to know the grass is greener outside the Dem plantations. Shame on those who do that!
America's not perfect, and yes we had a rough past, but like the millions who come here from foreign lands to make a better life for themselves, anyone can work towards a better life. My immigrant grandparents came here with next to nothing. They worked in factories barely surviving on their meager wages. All their sons fought in WWII. There was no inherited wealth, just a dilapidated vermin infested railroad flat that they rented. Their sons all learned a trade and worked their way to middleclass through long hours of physical labor 6 days a week until they were too old and worn out to work anymore. No handouts from the government, no "white privilege."
If anyone hates this country you will hate this message. I would suggest you go and find somewhere more to your liking and give someone, it could be a black person if you like, who is desperate to become a US citizen your place. A win/win for both of you.

Why do I care, why do I spend so much time on these types of threads? Afterall, I'm white, I couldn't possibly understand the poverty and despair some black people suffer. I'll tell you why, it's because I never want to sit in Marcus Garvey Hall in a sketchy section of Jamaica, Queens, again beside an inconsolable grieving black Mom and her relatives (my friends) who lost both sons to rival gang violence.
Her husband chose drugs and street life walking out when the youngest of their three children was a baby - left a goodbye note on her car in the parking lot at our office on Christmas Eve. She did her best to support them and her elderly Mom did her best to watch them, but all three succumbed to the thug life. Two didn't make it past their early 20's and their sister is totally messed up. My friend couldn't handle the heartache and deteriorated mentally after her youngest was gunned down in the street. My friend passed away way before her time. She didn't even have the comfort of a church service for her boys, they rejected the faith they were brought up in and their baby mama's took over the funeral arrangements. I couldn't even describe what their funerals were like, they were beyond tragic.
These boys had opportunities to work, they had relatives who were educators, NYPD officers & Detectives that tried to mentor them and helped them when they got busted for drugs as teenagers. But even pulling strings for them to get them good jobs, no employer is going to tolerate employees who come to work high with their gang tattoos and their underwear showing (if they even showed up at all.) Racism didn't prevent them from getting an education or jobs - they had lots of encouragement and support from some very successful family members. Their crackhead deadbeat absentee Dad messed them up.
OTOH, her cousin, who is one of my closest friends, had the love and support of her husband and they made sure their son never had free time to hang around the basketball court with drug abusing kids. He took karate, played two instruments, took tennis lessons, learned Spanish, swimming lessons, family vacations with the whole close-knit family, spent summers at computer science camp, played football, went to their AME church Christian Academy and a private Quaker high school then College. He's an Engineer today and one of the brightest people I know. He's going places. That's a tale of two cousins, same family, same faith and values, completely different outcome for their kids. How important is the love of a dedicated Dad - they are the backbone of the family.

I think Rusty is confusing me with another kat. I only know what I see Maxx post and it's usually juvenile, racy, or intimidating. I've seen the "tough guy" but have yet to see any empathy.
